Himalaya: The Geopolitics of Melting Mountains <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

November 8, 2021<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Among the mountain ranges of the world, the Himalayas are perhaps the most spectacular, mysterious, and majestic. Along with the Tibetan Plateau, the Himalayas are home to 15,000 glaciers that carry as much as 12,000 cubic kilometers of ice down the mountains. The water they provide is a lifeline for more than 2.5 billion people, flowing through circuitous paths of the Indus, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, the Mekong, the Yangtze and the Huang He (Yellow River). While these mountains span geographic boundaries across India, Nepal, China, Bhutan, and Pakistan, sovereign states have sought to territorialize the land, the water, the air, the ecosystems, and the people. The climate crisis has exacerbated regional tensions because as the Himalayas melt and their water sources diminish, a race to secure access to fresh water is quickly turning into competition. This talk will explain how the Himalayan Melting Mountains brought together a group of students, alumni, and faculty to launch an interdisciplinary initiative that spotlights the urgent call to action necessitated by a problem that should be driving the conversation in Asia. Our run-away carbon footprint combined with increasingly fraught power relations constitute an explosive cocktail that will destabilize the lives and welfare of billions of people with massive spill-over effects across the globe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

RIHST Conference: Rich Rocks, the Climate Crisis, and the Tech Imperium\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

July 12-14<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The decarbonization of the global economy in response to the climate crisis and the fourth industrial revolution, featuring artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G networks (accelerated in response to the coronavirus pandemic), has triggered a race to secure uninterrupted access to critical raw minerals (CRMs) that are indispensable inputs for high-technology applications. Access to necessary resources has become a strategic security question, in light of the projected rapid increase in global demand for these essential inputs. This conference is divided into four sessions, including discussions on geopolitics, views from the industry, and insights on the social and environmental impacts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Between rocks and hard places: critical minerals, climate change and the future of globalization <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

February 4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

2021 finds us in the midst of a pandemic and a growing appreciation that the climate crisis is the biggest challenge of our time. Plans to become carbon neutral by mid-century have been announced by major economies making decarbonization urgent. \u00a0This major transformation requires unprecedented amounts of minerals as inputs and some are considered especially critical. Which ones are they? What makes them critical? Chris Berry President of House Mountain Partners, LLC and Sophia Kalantzakos, Professor at New York University\/ NYU Abu Dhabi will be talking about these developments. They will discuss the complex series of challenges and opportunities that are emerging as countries around the world move to decarbonize their economies in line with their Paris commitments.\u00a0<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Arlit is a case study in environmental racism set in a uranium mining town in the Sahara desert of Niger. Here European corporations extract nuclear power and profits leaving behind disease, contamination and unemployment. Ironically the primary activities of Arlit today is to die of radiation related sicknesses or to emigrate to find work in Europe itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Life Worlds of Middle Eastern Oil <\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

April 15 – 16, 2019 | NYUAD\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

In the one hundred years or so since the birth of the Middle Eastern oil industry petroleum saturates its societies, cultures and politics, fueling cars, airplanes and wars, supplying energy for fridges, fans and air conditioners, creating glitzy modern cities, and subverting man made landscapes and natural environments. Oil\u2019s miracles, spectacles and miseries are still with us, and will remain for some time to come. This multidisciplinary workshop penetrates the bituminous layers of the inner life of Middle Eastern oil, exploring how it affectes people\u2019s social, cultural and political lives in the twentieth and twentieth-first centuries.<\/p>\n

The Plant-People Relationship in Ancient Central Asia<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Wed,\u00a0March 13 |\u00a012 to 1:30 pm<\/span> |\u00a0A6-117<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

This talk explores the recent proliferation of studies on the plant-people relationship in ancient Central Asia.\u00a0 Over the last 25 years, significant data sets of ancient plant remains and other dietary indicators have emerged from major and minor archaeological sites across the region.\u00a0 Many of the studies that have produced these data pursue a wide-ranging picture of the transmission of domesticated plants across cultures and emphasize the role of the Silk Road in shaping food globalization in prehistory.\u00a0 Contrasting these are other studies that examine the local, embedded, and indigenous facets of ancient plant usage and domestication within Central Asia itself.\u00a0 Both perspectives capture fascinating aspects of ancient human-environment dynamics in Central Asia using novel approaches.\u00a0 They also mirror contemporary discourse about globalization and its implications for human societies.\u00a0 This talk will explore these bodies of emerging scholarship and present information on new research in Central Asia aimed at addressing some of the recent trends.<\/span><\/p>\n

What on Earth are the Animals Saying?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

September 19, 2017 | 6:30 pm | NYUAD Institute\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A talk by NYUAD\u2019s\u00a0Award winning<\/g>\u00a0author and journalist,\u00a0Professor Charles Siebert, Literature and Creative Writing talks of his many experiences visiting with, and writing about, non-human animals, and what they reveal to us about themselves and us. Through his interludes with everyone from a former cellist in an all chimpanzee circus orchestra; to an octopus escape artist; to elephant and whale ventriloquists; to traumatized orphaned parrots who heal equally traumatized war veterans, Siebert introduces us to the animal within all humans; the common biology and languages we share with other beings; and the costs of failing to hear \u201cWhat On Earth They Are Saying<\/span><\/p>\n
